i'm not sure we're ready to go for the assault weapons ban again because of the opposition by the nra and gun owners of america, whatever they're called. your thoughts. >> well, i think this is where the rubber meets the road. if you're a democrat and you're from one of those purple states where elections are very close all the time, this is a very tough vote for you. but frankly, it's why you're a democrat. i mean, there are -- there is widespread agreement on background checks. there's widespread agreement on these magazines that can hold up to 100 rounds. and the assault weapons ban is where it gets kind of tough for democrats. but i think those democrats who don't want to vote for an assault weapons ban might find a tea party on the left, a primary, somebody who's a little bit more liberal, who's a little bit more progressive and a little bit more willing to do these things. it was something that bill clinton passed in 1994, and nobody in america was outraged at the time. no hunters stopped hunting. and it wasn't really any threat to the second amendment. it isn't any more today t
